Hello Nikita,

When you pass an `int` to a `string` type parameter in weak mode

This is quite complex, because you'd need to copy zend_function
and all its members (without changing the original zend_function).

I would love to support it but all in all it comes down to
implementation here for me, so I'd rather do it in a separate
RFC.


I like the RFC, however I do not like this behavior.
This would behave differently then how current weak/strict mode works.

I was never a fan of the weak mode to begin with, but now introducing
something which deals in the area of argument passing and not behaving
to what a 2/3 majority agreed is IMHO a no-go. The current RFC does not
even mention that.

Maybe it's not feasible anyway, but in any case I'm missing
input/discussion in this area.

Morning Markus,

Well, those strict/weak modes were initially invented for basic types,
not for composite types so I'd question if their support is needed at all...

For example regardlessly of what mode your file in, if you implement
an interface with `function foo(int $b)` you'd always have to implement
it with `int`, and not `float`.
